Both "23" and "Skidoo" are American words
meaning "Get out". This chapter describes the Great
Work under the figure of a man ridding himself of all
his accidents.
He first leaves the life of comfort; then the world at
large; and, lastly, even the initiates.
In the fourth section is shown that there is no return
for one that has started on this path.
The word OUT is then analysed, and treated as a
noun.
Besides the explanation in the note, O is the Yoni;
T, the Lingam; and U, the Hierophant; the 5th card
of the Tarot, the Pentagram. It is thus practically
identical with IAO.
The rest of the chapter is clear, for the note.
